Chinese theme park giant and content producer Fantawild is attending AFM for the first time this year with a slate of creature features and VFX-driven pictures.
US director Blake Freeman (Mucho Dinero) is attached to direct Unshrinkable 3D, about a young Chinese woman and her American boyfriend struggling to protect her grandfather who has developed an iPhone app that can shrink people. The $7m film is expected to start shooting in February next year.
The company is also developing Kung-fu Baby 3D, featuring a high-kicking infant with nunchuks; The City Of Rats 3D, and Killer Croc 3D, a follow-up to the company's Million Dollar Crocodile, which Screen Media Films will release in the US.
All the films will be English-language and Fantawild is hoping to bring on board Western co-producers to help broaden international distribution.
"We're already strong in theme parks and animation so we decided to expand into film production, following the Disney and Universal business model which we've researched in depth," said Fantawild Films general manager Jason Han.
One of China's largest theme park companies, Fantawild entered the visual effects business by making short 3D films for theme park rides. It entered film production in 2009 and also has credits including Inseparable, starring Kevin Spacey, and Wong Jing's Future X-Cops.
Fantawild owns sound stages in Wuhu, Anhui province, a VFX facility in Beijing and is currently building a 3D facility in Tianjin and further studios in Qingdao, Shandong province.

Within The Ruins - Creature lyrics
I've seen how it goes. You've played this card before. I've already seen your hand. You deserve the hand you've been dealt. I'll be laughing all the way to the bank. You deserve the hand you've been dealt. We'll see who comes out on top in the end. All eyes on the sky. You better sleep with one eye open. It creeps in, in the night. Wake up. Wake up the plagues it's coming tonight. Hurry to the door. Shut the windows. Don't say a word. This could be our last night. It creeps in the night. Have the tellers call the cops. There's a whore on the run. She's headed your way. Wait for it. I know you're dying to hear my side of the story we seem to tangle ourselves in. I'll try to clear my lungs. I'll be resuscitated. I've struggled against the tide. Try to sink this ship. Is that all you've got? Now believe my story. Sucked to the depths. I lost my crew. I lost it all.Within The Ruins - Creature - http://motolyrics.com/within-the-ruins/creature-lyrics.html

The city of Ani
#1 Guest__*
Posted 27 January 2001 - 08:19 AM
This city, Ani, was filled with a multitutde of people and animals and surrounded by very strong walls. It had in it so many churches that among the oaths spoken one was: "By the thousand and one churches of Ani". It was a city rich in all goods, because of this, arrogance resulting from satiety struck it; and that arrogance led to destruction, as has been the case from the beginning until the present. Chormaghun sent ambassadors to the inhabitants for them to obediently come out to him. Those who were the heads of the city did not dare respond to the message without asking prince Shahnshah, since the city was under his authority.
[221] But the city mob and the commoners (rhamikk') killed [Chormaghun's] delegation. When the foreigners' troops learned of this, in rage they besieged Ani on all sides. They erected many catapults and, skillfully battling against the city, they took it. Some of the princes of the city surrendered to the enemy, thereby saving their lives. Many were called out of the city and promised that nothing evil would be done to them.
But as soon as these princes had emerged from the city and gone [to the Mongols] in all their multitude, the enemy divided them amongst themselves and put them to the sword, mercilessly cutting down one and all and sparing only a few women and children and some artisans whom they led into captivity. Then they entered the city, took all the goods and possessions, looted all the churches, ruined and destroyed the entire city and corrupted the glory of its beauty. [g258]
It was a pitiful sight there. Dead parents and their children were heaped on top of one another, like a pile of rough stones, priests and deacons and officials of the church, old, young, children, adolescents, and many virgins dealt with as it says in the holy Gospel: "You shall be betrayed to hunger and slavery". The same prescription fell upon the inhabitants of Ani, for [their corpses were] scattered here [222] and there, fallen across the face of the plains; the land drank in the blood and fat of the wounded. Tender bodies, once washed with soap, lay blackened and swollen. Those who had not gone out of the city were led away barefoot into captivity; and those who had communed in the holy blood and body of the Son of God now ate unclean, sickening meat and drank foul mare's milk. Modest and prudent women were deflowered by wanton, lewd men; blessed virgins who had vowed to God to keep their bodies and souls pure were fouled by various prostitutions and corrupted with indignities. This was the end of the affair. [g259]

[161] The human race, subject to many delusions and illusions, because of lust and impropriety, has sought refuge in its deeds. The powerful, tall, giants who could not be withstood or competed against, styled themselves gods. Some, fortified with towers, regarding their height as impregnable, did not want to taste from the cup of the Lord's goodness--resembling the foolish builders of that first structure which was built with great difficulty but easily demolished; or like the residents oi Jericho, who, because of the fortification of towers, did not consider themselves Caananites and did not think that the right hand of the Lord ruled them too, or that the sword of the Omnipotent would near them. For it is the Lord who builds and destroys, makes strongholds tremble [g133] and lofty towers collapse. The tower on the mountains of Lebanon which David built and fortified with swords and shields against Damascus, did not withstand Solomon's adversary Eder, nor did it impede his attack, because the fortress is holiness, while the choice wall, is pious action.
Now let us return to our former narration. Let it not be considered few or insignificant the sins of those who will not repent or regret, or who fail to see the punishment [162] of people close to them and neighbors--punishment which occurs according to the crime[s committed]. The cypress must weep for the pine, the buck-thorn for the olive, because it is not that all upon whom the Tower collapsed, according to the Lord's command, were without distinction worthy of death, but rather that kin and others understand the sins, while those at a distance learn from them and take care. The calamitous events which took place regarding Arcn had not occurred long ago, nor had much time passed that they became clouded over (=corrupted). Many had witnessed them with their own eyes and had no need to listen, for many districts and cities had been saved from that raiding. However, they revolted and rebelled not against mankind, but against God Who levels to the ground those lofty towers and transforms secure cities into mounds of earth. [The people] did not understand or remember the Lord's dread and threats, nor the dregs of His rage and wrath, [Whose cup] He lowers for sinners to drink from. They considered [that cup] empty. [This was] especially so for the fortress of Ani and her daughters surrounding which had learned arrogance even more, and clapped their hands against Heaven; while God moved the king of Persia to come in His place [g134] and to see what was [163] going on there. There was warfare in the country of Armenia for [the Saljuqs wanted to] enlarge their holdings and rule the borders of the other (=Byzantine) kingdom. This transpired in 513 of our [Armenian] era (=A.D. 1063/64).
Now the [Saljuq] king came with many myriads of armed troops and entered our land, spreading dread and terror among those far and near. He trampled on and overturned many lands until he reached the city [of Ani] which had reached the limit of sinfullness. He pitched his tent opposite the city of Ani and spread his army throughout the breadth of the country. He tried and devised stragems to dest:roy that [city] gate of iron and the locks of copper which opposed his kingdom, but because he grew disheartened because of the fortification [of the place], although the battle was growing more intense, he wanted to depart. He did not know that the Lord had implanted discord, disunity and chaos between the guards and the princes. Just then, [the guards] leaving off fighting, took to flight; and, confused by fear, no one looked with concern upon his relatives or important friends. Rather, each was seized with fright. When the armed [Saljuq] troops which were fighting outside saw this, they made way over [164] the wall, and poured into the city like the foaming billows of the sea. Putting the Persian sword to work, they spared no one. Now the multitude of men and women applied to the kings' palace (yaparans t'agaworac'n) as if they could save themselves there, while others fled to the stronghold called Nerk'i (=Inner) fortress. As for those who were holed up within the city, when the enemy saw that they were unprepared, lacking fighting men, food or drink, [the Saljuqs] surrounded them and terrified them so much that unwillingly they came forth. [g135]
One could see there the grief and calamity of every age of humankind. For children were ravished from the embraces of their mothers and mercilessly hurled against rocks, while the mothers drenched them with tears and blood. Father and son were slain by the same sword. The elderly, the young, priests and deacons also died by the same sword. The city became filled from one end to the other with bodies of the slain, and [the bodies of the slain] became a road. From the countless multitude of the slain, and from the corpses, that great stream which passed by the city became dyed with blood. Wild and domesticated beasts became the cemetaries [165] of those corpses, for there was no one to cover over the bodies of the slain with the needed earth, no one to bury them. The lofty and beautiful palace was burned because of the injustices committed within it, while all [other] structures were transformed into mounds of earth. The usury and treachery there ended.
This is the fate of unjust cities which are built with the blood of others (areamb otarac'), are made luxurious by the sweat of the bankrupt, and which fortify their homes with usury and injustice, having no pity for the poor and indigent, They expect only pleasure and comfort and do not withdraw from foul activities. Rather, they are drunk from the desire which has seized hold of them. What becomes of such when the anger of the Lord strikes? They wither and are destroyed, like wax in fire, be they kings or be they princes, as we have seen from what has been narrated. But the king of Persia, having ruled over numerous districts, returned to his own land with inestimable booty. [g136]

(But I'm not that sure about Robert Bedrossians translations though - the English seems rather too modern, not poetic enough!)

At that time Ani had a population of at least 100,000 and its wealth and renown was such that it was known as the "city of a thousand and one churches". Built on a spectacular site - a plateau almost encircled by deep ravines - Ani's many churches, palaces and fortifications were amongst the most technically and artistically advanced
buildings in Europe at that time. Ani is now a ghost city, uninhabited for some four centuries and marooned since 1921 in a Turkish military zone right on the border with modern Armenia. Today's visitors to
Ani must explore the ruins under the supervision of armed soldiers and most of the extensive site is now off-limits. Enter this website for a building by building description of Ani, plus some of the medieval Armenian churches, monasteries and castles that are in the vicinity of the

Vikings defensive end Jared Allen believes that if the Vikings are going to be Super Bowl contenders, the leadership of the team has to come not from him, and not from Adrian Peterson, but from quarterback Christian Ponder.
"I tell him all the time, you have to be the guy," Allen said of Ponder on Jim Rome's show. "Adrian can carry this team so far, our defense can carry this team so far. You know, you look at teams that historically win championships and they have consistent play from the quarterback position."
Last year the Vikings didn't get Super Bowl-caliber play from Ponder: He was 21st in the NFL in quarterback rating, 23rd in passing touchdowns and and 25th in passing yards. But Allen believes Ponder can take a big step forward this year.
"I hope he makes leaps and bounds," Allen said. "He's a great dude."
If Ponder can be more than just a great dude and also become a great quarterback, the Vikings could be contenders.

From AP/t Alphecca] [h:
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Montana is trying to trigger a battle over gun control — and perhaps make a larger point about what many folks in this ruggedly independent state regard as a meddlesome federal government.
In a bill passed by the Legislature earlier this month, the state is asserting that guns manufactured in Montana and sold in Montana to people who intend to keep their weapons in Montana are exempt from federal gun registration, background check and dealer-licensing rules because no state lines are crossed.
That notion is all but certain to be tested in court.
The immediate effect of the law could be limited, since Montana is home to just a few specialty gun makers, known for high-end hunting rifles and replicas of Old West weapons, and because their out-of-state sales would automatically trigger federal control.
Still, much bigger prey lies in Montana's sights: a legal showdown over how far the federal government's regulatory authority extends.
"It's a gun bill, but it's another way of demonstrating the sovereignty of the state of Montana," said Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer, who signed the bill.
Obviously, the Feds are not too happy about this:
Carrie DiPirro, a spokeswoman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, had no comment on the legislation. But the federal government has generally argued that it has authority under the interstate commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution to regulate guns because they can so easily be transported across state lines....
Critics say exempting guns from federal laws anywhere would undermine efforts to stem gun violence everywhere.
"Guns cross state lines and they do so constantly, and this is a Sagebrush Rebellion-type effort to light some sort of fire and get something going that's pleasing to the gun nuts and that has very little actual sense," said Peter Hamm, communications director for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
In a 2005 case, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the enforcement of federal laws against marijuana in California, even if the drug is for medical purposes and is grown and used within the state. The court found that since marijuana produced in California is essentially indistinguishable from pot grown outside the state, the federal government must have the authority to regulate both to enforce national drug laws.
Montana, of course, has a rejoinder:
Randy Barnett, the lawyer and constitutional scholar who represented the plaintiff in the California case, said that Montana could argue that its "Made in Montana"-stamped guns are unique and sufficiently segregated as to lie outside federal regulation.
Supporters of the measure say the main purpose is not extending gun freedoms, but curbing what they regard as an oppressive interpretation of the interstate commerce clause and federal overreach into such things as livestock management and education.
Is there a reasonable case to be made that States retain some power to draw the line at the Feds regulating items because they might be carried across State lines? Proponents of Statism will suggest that there should never be an occasion when the sovereignty of the State could be opposed to the power of the Federal government because, because ... because ...
Well, why not?

Slutzky says he'll run again
Incumbent Albemarle County Board of Supervisors chair David Slutzky says he's running for reelection. Already facing some vitriol over his willingness to raise taxes in his first four-year term in office, Slutzky will likely face a challenge from fellow business owner Rodney Thomas in the small but populous Rio District.
19 comments
I am a city resident. Mr. Slutsky has told me that his voters are in favor of his position on the water plan, which is to proceed with the present plan even though the costs are unknown and most of the information is inaccurate or non-existent. What responsible politician would advocate such a position? He has also stalled getting the dredging surveys approved. If the voters in his district actually agree with this I guess they have no concern for the cost, which I find hard to believe.
Yeah he talked to 5 people so that must be the majority in his mind...though I think he really doesn't care what citizens want. He resembles the King in that Burger King commercial and acts like one too. He is the king, we are his underlings!
I'm so tired of Slutsky! I would vote for anyone else to remove him from the board. He has irritated so many. He behaves impulsively and he has often been plain rude.
David is on target with the water supply plan. He has listened to a broad group of people and understands the importance of providing enough water for Cville/Alb. I think he understands that the opponents of the water plan just happen to be more vocal than its supporters, and that it is backed by solid science.
I have heard rumblings of him trying to eliminate land use taxation, which I (and a lot of other land owners) think would be a big mistake.
Hey now... who are you calling a nut? C'mon Cville Eye, that's way harsh and simply not true. Have you ever even spoken with Ms Szakos about her platform? Did you attend any of the public forums to hear her speak on issues like transportation, education, and city staff being accountable to the people for a change?
Taliaferro is famous for his non-statements. "Maybe, possibly, might, etc." The only time he dares to stick his neck out are on the very safest issues that hit people in the pocketbook. Otherwise, the guy says nothing. Just listen to the words between the hemming and hawing-- there's no substance! He also participates far less than anyone else on Council. We need folks with some energy up there!
Betty, I have enormous respect for you, but disagree completely on this issue. Great, so he's helped YOUR neighborhood! Are there any other neighborhoods in Charlottesville, perhaps those who are less politically influential than yours? I've personally seen him cave repeatedly on many neighborhood issues, the Meadowcreek Pkwy, etc. He invariably takes the safest route. Aside from his somewhat rousing performance at the Four Boards meeting (which was an exception to the norm), I've never seen anything of real substance come out of the guy in three years.
I agree completely that we've needed to hear more from Szakos on the Water Plan, but there are many other City issues at play here. I don't believe that the entire election should hinge on Taliaferro's statements at one meeting, especially with his lengthy track record of fence-sitting and back-tracking. I could throw a rock and hit 10 people that he's promised to help, only to back away when the rubber hits the road. He is the poster boy for the Good Ol' Boy political network in Charlottesville... you know, the folks that got us into this mess in the first place! He's a 100% "Company Man."
If you're looking for someone who will stand up for something, and be willing to withstand all the bad stuff that will be thrown at them, you're looking at the wrong person. Personally, I want someone else on Council that's more like Dave Norris-- someone with some spine.
slutsky decided to run again because the simulas eco money has not arrived yet he needs to stay on the board to sway opinion to keep his eco company afloat with "going green" ideas in the school system and county rooftops until the obama stimulas ship comes to port.
Reality Check we usually do agree and I respect your concerns. I would prefer that Taliaferro opposed the Parkway but on that issue he and Ms. Szakos agree. I do believe that his determination to get the facts on the water plan, although one issue, and her unwillingness to even take a stand indicate that she is the one who lacks spine and does not indicate to me that she would look out for City residents.
I personally would not support anyone who would not take a position on such a major issue if they were running for Council.
@Aaron, "...and that it is backed by solid science." This is an example of people throuwing around groundless statements that sound good and become often-repeated. Exactly What "solic science" are you talking about? You're not going to get away with this ridiculous statement unchallenged. The 50-year demand projection was unscientifically determined. There isn't even enough information to make an estimate of the total cost of the project, scientifically or unscientifically, because there are components of the proposal that has not been evaluated, such as the pipeline from SFRR to RMR.
"...understands the importance of providing enough water for Cville/Alb." So does everybody else.
This sounds like a bunch of campaing hot air spewed out by a friend or employee and not by anyone that has been evaluating the various components of the proposal. Aaron, can you or Slutzky tell where the pipeline's easement will be and how much it will cost? Of course not, because the proposal has nothing to do with "solid science." There isn't even a solid preliminary bodget proposed for the entire project. You do your candidate no good by using this kind of ridiculous rhetoric.
Yep, I think fresh meat-- as you put it-- is needed now. When speaking with Ms Szakos, I hear more than the platitudes I hear from Taliaferro. In this instance I don't think it would be wise to stick with the devil we know.
Norris and Szakos appeared together on the mall the other day when a group of citizens endorsed them both as the candidates of choice. Jason Halbert, Julie Gronlund, and Kendra Hamilton spoke glowingly of both of them (and there's no mistaking where Kendra stands on the Water Plan!). I don't believe Norris would be seen with a candidate if he thought she had no substance, and I think that pretty much sums it up.
Aaron, being that slutsky owns less than 1 acre and he loves taxes it does not surprise me he would like to see land use done away with. think of all the government crap he could put that money towards! i have a feeling the county's ACE program is a means toward that end. the county secures as much acreage under the cover of rural preservation then they pull the rug out from under land use and say 'go ahead and subdivide we got our ACE acres'.
Vertico, ACE is a horrible concept. Any submission of land rights/sale to government is generally a bad idea. Julian Toliver should retire; Slutzky--what's in a name? Krissy Szakos is just another "cradle to grave" lib...obvious by her silly comments about public meetings, childcare, changes of venue, etc. I am so happy I do not live in Albie.
Aren't we in a David Slutzky-free zone?
I disagree that Szakos has positions and Taliaferro does not, in fact I would say it is the exact opposite, from my observations, and meetings with both of them. About her position on the water plan she said to me "I am gathering information" and to a friend she said, ask me after the election is over. This is clearly unacceptable on such a major issue. Taliaferro, on the other hand, has been very clear that he wants to protect City Ratepayers by knowing the costs of the entire plan, not bits and pieces, and that means getting the dredging surveys done. He also has done a great deal of work in the neighborhoods, helping them get their concerns addressed.
I am voting for Dave Norris and Julian Taliaferro and I hope concerned taxpayers/ratepayers and those who care about the future of the city will too.
If I were a county resident I would not vote for any politician that does not support getting the dredging surveys done ASAP in order to know the costs and then rethink the current plan in light of new information.
Neither Szakos nor Taliaferro impress me at all! I'm still very sorry that we didn't get Peter Kleeman as a councilor. Someone with knowledge, energy, and spine is what we need but I'm seeing that yet again Charlottesville is doomed to having an ineffective and largely clueless City Council.
Cville Eye-- you've been around the scene awhile, and I appreciate your comments. If you haven't listened to the forum last night (in case you weren't there in person), please do. You'll see that Kristin Szakos did indeed speak very intelligently on many of the issues, and that includes the Water Plan.
None of us will ever find a candidate who we'll agree with 100% of the time (MCP, Water, budget, affordable housing). However, I do think that some of the best Councilors grow and develop over time once in office (unfortunately, some don't!) Sometimes that comes after they've been disillusioned a few times, whether by staff or their own co-Councilors. Having spent time speaking with Ms Szakos about the issues, I have to say that she has tremendous potential to grow and develop. The most important thing, when one considers what's ahead of us all, is that she has the necessary gumption and energy. Taliaferro has proven that there's very little gumption there, and what drive and energy he does possess usually takes the form of looking out for the interests of the already powerful and politically tied-in. Just my 2 cents.
Reality Check, yes, "nut" may be a little harsh. However, Szakos has no platform. Saying that you have "concerns" about education, transportation, accountability, workforce development, etc. is not a platform. I have searched the web and have been unable to find one. Where does she say, "I plan to implement this plan, program, or initiative to do anything with any of her concerns? Moving Council out of City Hall into the "community" and getting rid of televised meetings and archival tapes? What does she plan to do about what mode of transportation? She's obviously not interested in the MC Parkway issues. The only thing I hear her talking about is involving so-called unrepresented people in the "process." What process?
I can not find any previous experience that she has had that will allow her to contribute in managing a $142M budget (business). I can not find ANYTHING that she brings to government's table. Perhaps you can help me with it. I'm sure there are many that would also like for you to do so.
As far Taliaferro, I can not bring myself to vote for anyone who votes every year on his own retirement benefits after complaining that his wife's health benefits are not as good as that of those who actually work for the city. The mere fact that he tried with his minion, the current fire chief, to take over the Charlottesville Albemarle Rescue Squad causing me to put him in the nut basket.
Reality Check, I appreciate your comments quite frequently and I appreciate them now. After listening to the podcast, I think this is a good summary of what was said at the Dem's candidate forum: http://cvilletomorrow.typepad.com/charlottesville_tomorrow_/2009/05/demo...
"Challenger Kristin Szakos called for holding City Council meetings outside of Council Chambers, meetings where dinner and childcare would be made available to attendees. Szakos also said she supported a dedicated City fund for affordable housing, called for the upgrading of the Charlottesville Transit System to a ââ?¬Å?more urban" system, and said she would be a careful watchdog of City staff." and when asked about the Hillsdale Drive project she states the obvious "Szakos said the City did not do a good job of bringing all the stakeholders together to explain the road's purpose." Lack of depth in understanding concerns.
If you are saying perhaps there's value in throwing out the old meat and bringing fresh, you may have a point, however, I hesitate giving the new meat any attributes when there clearly is no evidence. Of all of the experience currently on city council, there still isn't enough to make good decisions managing a $142M budget. These people are spending millions on housing aand yet, none of them can show you anything that's been accomplished, except using local tax money to help people pay their rent, pay their mortgage and renovate federally-owned housing. The reaaon we have many of the problems we do is that our councilors devote most of their attention to social problems and spend a vastly insufficient amount of time on all the rest. That's how Overrun O'Connell gets to control $139M and letting them play with $5M. Sadly, they will never get it.
His stance on raising taxes and on the 50-year water supply proposal indicates to me he has a thorough disregard for his constituents' money.
As the city Demos are in the process of replacing Julian Taliaferro with another nut (she has virtually no platform except for more locally funded welfare programs), so should the voters in the Rio District consider doing so.

I have a JPanel with 5 JCheckBox on it. What I'd like to do is count how many of them are selected and create a collection out of them so I can iterate through them without using if (JCheckBox.isSelected()) { do something... }.
Is this possible or am I just dreaming?

N° 11–2003: Signature of contracts for full development of Vega small launcher and P80 advanced solid propulsion stage and demonstrator
25 February 2003
Today ESA signed a contract with the ELV company for completion of the development phase of the Vega European small launcher programme, and CNES signed, on behalf of ESA, a contract with FiatAvio for development of the P80 advanced solid propulsion stage and demonstrator.
The contracts were signed in Colleferro (Rome), on the FiatAvio industrial park, in the presence of representatives of the Italian Government, ESA, ASI, Arianespace, CNES and ELV.
Step 1 of the Vega small launcher programme was decided by the ESA Council in June 1998. Funding for both the Vega and P80 programmes was approved by the participating states in December 2000.
Italy is the leading contributor to the Vega programme with 65 %, other participants being Belgium (5.63%), France (12.43%), the Netherlands (3.5%), Spain (5%), Sweden (0.8%) and Switzerland (1.34%). Belgium, France, Italy and the Netherlands are also contributing to the P80 programme.
ELV is the prime contractor for the Vega launcher. Its shareholders are FiatAvio (70%) and the Italian space agency, ASI (30%). FiatAvio is the prime contractor for the P80.
The Vega small launcher configuration consists of 3 solid stages: the P80 first stage, the Zefiro 23 second stage, the Zefiro 9 third stage and an upper liquid propulsion module, called AVUM.
Vega's target lift capability is 1500 kg and it will inject its payload into a circular orbit at 700 km altitude. The launch base to be used for Vega is the European Spaceport at Kourou in French Guiana.
Arianespace will be the commercial operator for Vega. The first qualification launch is planned for mid-2006, with an expected frequency of 3 to 4 launches a year.
The P80 has twofold objectives: to serve as the first stage of the launcher and to develop new technologies for the future A5 solid booster.
An integrated project team (IPT), comprising staff from ESA and the Italian and French space agencies (ASI and CNES), will manage the Vega launcher contract and ensure overall system coherence. It is to be located at the ESA establishment near Rome, ESRIN.
The P80 contract will be managed, under the authority of the IPT, by CNES through a dedicated project team, including ESA and ASI staff. The P80 team is to be located at the CNES establishment in Evry, near Paris.
The values of these development contracts are: EUR 221m for the Vega launcher, and EUR 40m for the P80.

Why Environmentalists Should Celebrate 25 Years of Prison Legal News
An interview with Paul Wright, editor of PLN and director of the Human Rights Defense Center, by a former Earth First! Journal collective member.
From Earth First! Newswire / By Panagioti
Prison Legal News was born the same year that the Earth First! was figuring out what it meant to support incarcerated warriors of the eco-defense movement, resulting from the Arizona 5 busts. Environmentalism and the prison industrial complex would be intertwined for Earth First! from that point on. The prison support pages of the Earth First! Journal would be a constant presence in the publication—going from a brief sidebar to a full-blown spread in the magazine with the spike in prisoners following the first Green Scare indictments in 2005.
As a resulting of EF! activists doing time in county, state and federal facilities across the US, the numbers of prisoner subscribers also began to rise steadily. Today there are now thousands of prisoners who have an Earth First! Journal pass through their hands. There are also many supporters on the outside who make donations explicitly for the purpose of keeping these prisoner subscriptions possible—being that very few prisoners are able to make enough on slave wages to pay full price for a subscription.

Mike H."I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!
Greg J."With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
Bill"I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students."
I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on JamPlay.com. Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.

Wisconsin Public Interest Research Group talked about the dangers of toys Tuesday.
They said many toys have a chocking hazard.
To test your toys at home, grab a toilet paper roll. If the toy doesn't fit through, it's safe.
They also warned about loud toys that can harm children's ears. One example they gave was the Dora the Explorer guitar.
Experts said it's not just the toys at Christmas time that can cause the hazard.
"We want to remind parents that there are things we don't think of as a toy, but a child might think of as a toy, like an ornament. They are shiny and bright. Hang chokeable ornaments high enough so kids can't reach them. Remind kids not to chew on wrapping paper. Take it away from them. Foil wrapping paper contains traces of lead. We know its harmful," said Abby Collier of the Children's Health Alliance of Wisconsin.

Farewell to the Sun
The crew of the French–Italian Concordia research base in the Antarctic saw their last rays of Sun for over four months last weekend. Near the South Pole, the outpost will now continue its research and run self-sufficiently in darkness until September.
ESA sponsors a medical research doctor in Concordia every winter to study the long-term effects of isolation and it doesn't come much more isolated than this. The base is 3200 m above sea level and temperatures will drop to –80°C.
No supplies can be delivered during the Antarctic winter and nobody can leave the base, no matter what emergency. They have to solve any problems on their own, as a team.
The station is the closest thing on Earth to interplanetary exploration. Studying the effects of isolation there is preparing ESA for the real thing: a mission to Mars.
Science of stress
Oliver Angerer, ESA's coordinator, explains: "The environment is a continuous stress and poses challenges to all the participants involved.
"We are looking at how the crew performs in this harsh environment, in particular regarding sleep. The high altitude at Concordia can already be influencing sleep quality.
"Take away sunlight as well and it becomes even more difficult to maintain normal body rhythms."
With no sunlight, social commitments such as breakfast and dinner become important indicators of when to sleep and when to stay awake.
The ESA-sponsored medical researcher Alexander Kumar is monitoring sleep patterns by recording the brain activity of his sleeping crewmates. He is also taking saliva samples to chart the levels over time of sleep hormones such as melatonin or cortisol.
Cognitive tests similar to commercial brain games are testing crew performance. Will performance drop as the Sun becomes a mere memory?
This year, the study is also following the crew as they exercise to see if it has any effect on morale and sleep patterns.
The crew have a long road ahead of them before they see the Sun again. Follow Concordia and inspire the crew by reading and commenting on their blog. See the links to the right.
ESA is looking for medical doctors to conduct similar research in Concordia next winter. Candidates who are not afraid of the dark can apply before 8 June through the link to the right.

Candidates for District Court judge will espouse their vision for the bench at election forums held next week in Haywood and Jackson County.
"Judges make decisions every day that directly influence people's lives, yet many voters don't know where judicial candidates stand on the most important issues of the day," said Chris Cooper, WCU associate professor of political science and public affairs, and director of the Public Policy Institute. "We want to help voters learn what they need to know about the people who want to represent them in the judiciary."
Candidates in other local races will be given two-minutes at the mic prior to the judge hopefuls taking the stage. The forums will be sponsored by Western Carolina University's Public Policy Institute and The Smoky Mountain News. The two forums are:
• 6:30 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 12, at Western Carolina University Multipurpose Room of A.K. Hinds University Center.
• 6:30 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 14, at Haywood Community College auditorium.
A reception will be held from 6:30 to 7 p.m. where voters can talk informally with the candidates for judge and other local offices. The formal portion of the forum will begin at 7 p.m. Local candidates who attend — county commissioner, school board, sheriff, and state representative or senate candidates — will get two minutes each to introduce themselves and discuss their platforms.
Todd Collins, WCU assistant professor of political science and public affairs, will serve as moderator of the forum with the judicial candidates. Questions will be developed prior to the forum, but audience participation will be allowed as time permits.

Time to check in on Son of Nor, an intriguing little PC game that's basically doing what Avatar (the cartoon) did only without the license. Seems the team have made quite a bit of progress since we last saw the game.
While some things are still a little rough, like player animations, the important thing - the interactive world - is coming together nicely.
The long video above walks you through both the game's lore and basic mechanics, so if you want to get straight to the action, head to around 1:50.

The Huracán Performante has decided to lower its roof and transform itself into the Spyder with the highest performance that the Huracán family has ever seen. Its lines are designed to thrill at first sight and its state-of-the-art technology has been developed to provide a one-of-a-kind driving experience. Weighing in at 35 kg less than the Huracán 4WD Spyder and with 30 HP more, this newest addition to the House of the Raging Bull vaunts the best power-to-weight ratio in the Huracán Spyder range. It uses Forged Composites® material and the new ALA (Lamborghini Active Aerodynamics) technology. The Huracán Performante Spyder: power has become breathtakingly beautiful.
It would be impossible not to feel the thrill. The Huracán Performante Spyder is breathtaking beauty paired with extreme performance. A car with a strong and assertive character, designed to enrapture. With an ANIMA driving-mode selector that has been optimized to respond seamlessly to driver commands and its V10 640 HP Huracán Performante Spyder engine, the sensations you experience behind its wheel will travel from your head to your heart in a fraction of a second.
Design and aerodynamics developed with a passion that comes only from striving to attain the very highest in performance and beauty, and achieved thanks to the use of Forged Composites®, a hybrid chassis in aluminum and carbon fiber, and the new patented Lamborghini ALA (Lamborghini Active Aerodynamics) technology. Its sharp, clean and finely-honed lines make the Huracán Performante Spyder unmistakable.A.L.A. (Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva). Ses lignes fuselées, nettes et tranchantes la rendent inimitable.
All of the Italian luxury and elegance of a Lamborghini can be found inside this vehicle. The details are finished with care, devotion and precision. Elegantly concealed within each individual component of the Huracán Performante Spyder lies the most state-of-the-art technology. Take, for instance, the ANIMA (Adaptive Network Intelligence Management) driving-mode selector, which makes it possible to satisfy every driving need and allow this vehicle's character to shine under any conditions.
There are many aspects that make this vehicle the highest expression of the new concept of super sports car. The even more powerful V10 engine, the extensive use of Forged Composites®, which make it even lighter in weight, the LDF 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and the new ALA active aerodynamic system that controls the air and directs it in its favor.
Completely updated and redesigned, with fluid-dynamics optimized at both intake and exhaust, this engine is the aspirated V10 with the highest specific power. The new intake ducts come directly from Lamborghini Motorsport's experience and improve response at all speeds. The double clutch transmission (LDF) has been further perfected and now is able to support even the highest performance. All of this is captured by the even more vibrant and thrilling sound of the new lightened exhaust system.
Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva is an intelligent and innovative system that manages active aerodynamics. The ALA system adapts to the driving style and type of route. When necessary, it increases vertical load to promote stability and speed through curves or reduces aerodynamic resistance to promote acceleration and make it easier to reach top speed.
The double wishbone architecture of the Huracán Performante Spyder's suspension systems guarantees the perfect balance between ease of use and sports performance. The standard suspension is paired with an optional system of magnetorheological shock absorbers that instantaneously respond to driving style and adapt to road conditions and driving dynamics, improving control over the vehicle, especially on the race track.
The Huracán Performante Spyder is equipped with Electronic Power Steering (EPS), a system that adapts perfectly to any driving style and always ensures the right power assistance on both track and road and in every ANIMA driving mode. The innovative Lamborghini Dynamic Steering (LDS) system is also available as an option. It lets you dynamically change the steering ratio, especially in CORSA mode, to get a more direct response on the race track.
Imagine you could have two gearboxes in the same unit: while one gear is engaged, the next would already be selected to reduce shifting time and be sure the shift occurs instantaneously and in the smoothest way possible, by opening one clutch and closing the other. This is what the Huracán Performante Spyder is able to offer you, thanks to its 7-speed Lamborghini Doppia Frizione (LDF) dual-clutch transmission.
Even the new main instrument panel graphics of the Huracán Performante Spyder convey a sense of performance and speed. In CORSA mode, the tachometer and gear indicator are clearly visible in the center, just like on a race car. The Lamborghini Smartphone Interface (Apple Car Play©, Android Auto©) and the Lamborghini Telemetry System are also available as optional equipment. With CarPlay, you can pair your iPhone to the car and display the main personal apps that are available directly on the instrument panel. With the Lamborghini Telemetry System, on the other hand, you can record your performance in real time and analyze it afterwards to improve your driving skills.
The all-wheel-drive system is controlled electronically and guarantees greater speed and precision in transferring torque between the axles. All of this translates into improved control in any driving conditions. The system continuously varies torque distribution on the basis of the selected driving mode and the road conditions. The result is exhilarating: improved power transfer on curves and when accelerating during demanding stretches of driving, together with better grip and safety during day-to-day driving.
One of the secrets behind the new Huracán Performante Spyder's performance is Forged Composites®. It is the lightest, most resistant and cutting-edge material that Automobili Lamborghini uses today, and it makes it possible to create the components with complex geometries that are at the heart of the front and rear structures of the ALA.
Discover all of the possibilities for customizing your Huracán Performante Spyder. We think you should be able to choose the vehicle of your dreams. That's why we provide a range of colors for the exterior, the interior, the stitching, cockpit materials and brake calipers. The combinations are practically infinite and they allow you to create a unique car, always with pure Italian style. Your Lamborghini Dealer will be able to advise you on all of the available customization options, so that your car matches your needs and, most importantly, your personality.

Liquid metal technology. That's Terminator 2 stuff, right? Well you better start running now, John Connor, because it's here. A new, flexible, conductive nano-coating lets liquid metal keep its form by transforming under high pressure, and then springing right back.
Granted, it's not like anyone will be using this tech to form galinstan—an alloy of gallium, indium, and tin that's liquid at room temperature—into any sort of rigid, usable tools (or robots), but the coating developed by researchers at RMIT University in Australia will let drops of the liquid metal retain their shapes like robust water balloons. Robust water balloons full of metal. Not only do the "marbles" sort of bounce, but they can be sliced, merged, and even suspended on water—all while retaining their semi-conductive properties.
The applications for this sort of tech—beyond just doing stuff that just looks cool—could be anything from extendable antennae to super flexible wires. Use cases where you need metal, but not its characteristic rigidity. Because this sort of coating is in its early stages though, there's no telling whether or not it'll be possible to produce little galinstan pellets like this at anything resembling a reasonable cost, or that the coated metal will last long enough to be worth using—for Terminators or otherwise.

Rug Care & Cleaning
With proper care and cleaning of your rug, you can help ensure your investment will last longer.
- A rug pad is recommended to prevent slipping and to extend the life of your rug.
- Vacuum rugs regularly. Set the vacuum height gauge to its highest setting, as some powerful vacuums may damage the pile or bound edges of your rug.
- Vacuum shag rugs with a straight suction vacuum. Never use a beater bar on a shag rug or jute rug.
- Do not pull loose yarns. Trim with scissors.
- It is normal for new rugs to shed fibers, especially wool rugs and hand tufted rugs. Frequent vacuuming will aid in eliminating excess loose fibers. The shedding will diminish with regular wear.
- Blot spills immediately by pressing firmly with clean, dry, white paper towels or cloth towels, working from the outside of the spill inward to avoid spreading. Continue blotting until no moisture transfers to the towel.
- Use a recommended ph balanced, no dye, rug cleaning product for spot cleaning. We recommend Capture available for sale at any local Rug & Home.

Supreme Court Rules Floating Home Is Not a Boat
Byline: Associated Press/Jesse J. Holland
WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) — The Supreme Court ruled Jan. 15 that a Florida man's floating home is a house, not a boat — and, thus, is not covered by maritime law. The case that could affect thousands of people around the country who make their home on floating structures that do not resemble traditional boats — in marinas, bays and coves.
The high court ruled 7-2 for Fane Lozman, who argued that the gray two-story floating home — approximately 60 feet in length — that he towed to a marina in Riviera Beach, Fla., should not have been affected by maritime law.
Justice Stephen Breyer, who included a picture of Lozman's craft in the opinion, said maritime law affects vessels that are "watercraft or other artificial contrivance used, or capable of being used, as a means of transportation on water." The key words, Breyer said, were "capable of being used," and the court was concerned with practical possibilities, not merely the theoretical.
"We believe that a reasonable observer, looking to the home's physical characteristics and activities, would not consider it to be designed to any practical degree for carrying people or things on water," Breyer said. "And we consequently conclude that the floating home is not a vessel."
According to the records, Lozman's floating home had no self-propulsion, no independent electricity, not even a rudder. To move it on water, it had to be towed.
Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Anthony Kennedy dissented, with Sotomayor saying Breyer's opinion creates a new and unnecessary test.
"An objective assessment of a watercraft's purpose or function governs whether that structure is a vessel," she said. "The court, however, creates a novel and unnecessary 'reasonable observer' reformulation of these principles and errs in its determination, under this new standard, that the craft before us is not a vessel."
Lozman bought the 60- by 12-foot floating home — with French doors, a sitting room, a bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen and an office — in 2002. In 2006, he had it towed to a marina in Riviera Beach, where he kept it docked.
After several disputes with the city, and unsuccessful attempts to evict him, city officials used U.S. maritime law to impose a lien on Lozman's property to cover dockage fees and damages for trespass.
Lozman argued that his home was a house, not a vessel, which would have given it some protection from seizure under state law. But federal judges sided with the city, and the floating home was seized and destroyed.
The city, however, was forced to post a $25,000 bond, which Lozman said he will pursue in District Court to reimburse him for the cost of his property, including the furniture and personal possessions that were destroyed after the impoundment of his property.
The lower courts were too broad in their descriptions of vessels, Breyer said.
"Not every floating structure is a vessel," Breyer said. "To state the obvious, a wooden washtub, a plastic dishpan, a swimming platform on pontoons, a large fishing net, a door taken off its hinges or Pinocchio (when inside the whale) are not 'vessels,' even if they are 'artificial contrivance(s)' capable of floating, moving under tow and incidentally carrying even a fair-sized item or two when they do so."
A structure would not fall under the definition of vessel "unless a reasonable observer, looking to the home's physical characteristics and activities, would consider it designed to a practical degree for carrying people or things over water," he said.
Two states with floating home populations — Washington state and California — have laws that are consistent with the justices' opinion, Breyer said.
"These states, we are told, treat structures that meet their 'floating home' definitions like ordinary land-based homes rather than like vessels," Breyer said. "Consistency of interpretation of related state and federal laws is a virtue."
More than 5,000 Americans own floating homes, and there are more than 60 floating casinos in the United States.

A couple who are trying to conserve water by not watering their lawn amid the state's drought received a warning from the suburb and the police department where they live that they might be fined for creating an eyesore.
Reuters reports that Michael Korte and Laura Whitney, who live near Los Angeles in Glendora, said the city warning them they had 60 days to water their partially brown lawn or pay a fine ranging from $100 to $500.
"I don't think it's right for us to start pouring water into our lawn in the middle of July during a drought," Whitney told Reuters. "We're kind of in a quandary about what to do."
The letter came the same week that statewide water regulators passed emergency drought restrictions for outdoor water use. Those regulations, to take effect this August, require cities to demand cutbacks in water use, and empower them to fine residents up to $500 for overwatering their lawns.
California governor Jerry Brown declared a statewide drought emergency in January.

Our "Prestige" garden gate range, the Harrogate. Combining the strength and durability of deep metal frames with the natural beauty of hand selected timber infill to create a truly elegant side gate, that really does "make an entrance".
Constructed using the finest Iroko (hardwood) - a naturally aesthetically pleasing wood. Expertly crafted by hand to any size in the UK. First by our skilled fabricators then to our experienced joiners for infill. Our metal framed gate range is what we are most proud of. Attention to detail both for look and durability is paramount. Sturdy 40mm x 40mm premium frame work, smooth welded joints, solid 30mm x 15mm rear bracing bars (if required - dependant on design) and stainless steel screws to fix the timber into place. To help prevent the gate from twisting or warping, welded braces are placed throughout the rear of the gate to ensure the cladding is correctly fixed. As timber is a natural product, it is prone to move during the seasons - in fact, a single piece of cladding can swell or contract up to 1.5mm, therefore, unlike others, we predict this movement and all gates are produced with a (non see through) expansion gap allowing the gate to "breathe" without anyone noticing it. The gap is dependant on gate size, and is usually between 5mm and 15mm which runs along the frame, parallel to the cladding width. This ensures stability of the gate without compromising the look.
Comes complete with a 10 year workmanship guarantee, fitted adjustable hinges/ pins, opening latch. Therefore, if fitting to existing posts/ pillars - this gate is ready to hang with no extras required.
Width of Gate: Taken as the actual gate (not opening size). This can be easily calculated - measure the distance between the pillars and reduce by 100mm (4") or if you are purchasing our posts then the gate size required would be your opening size minus 40mm, then minus the total width of posts purchased (eg 2 x 80mm x 80mm posts would be a reduction of 160mm plus the additional 40mm meaning a total reduction of 200mm)
Height of Gate: Taken to the highest point of each gate. We recommend allowing a minimum of 25mm (1") clearance between the bottom edge of gate and the ground. If you require a more exact height, please contact us to order.Free Gate Furniture: (hinges etc): 2 x adjustable hinges, hinge pins, closing receiver and opening latch included with each gate (enough to hang direct on existing posts/ pillars). As standard, the position of the hinge will be 6" (150mm) from the bottom edge of gate and 6" (150mm) from top edge of gate. If you require these to be different (if for example you already have pins set into a post/ pillar), please call us.
